All of my December sleevers...

[Bos123 221]

Sleeved 12/17/12 - down 63 lbs! I just broke a month long stall where the scale teased me at 200-202 lbs - so tantalizing close to Onderland. I just laughed it off. I knew I would break through eventually. I started in a size 24 and now wear a 14-16 depending on the brand. XL shirts fit - but are getting looser...I find that when the scale stops moving' date=' I see a more dramatic change in my size in the mirror and in my clothes. I still have a long way to go - but am the happiest I have been in years. I'm really enjoying every part (yes even the evil stalls) of this journey.[/quote']

I tech gained one pound this month but

Lost 4 1/2 inches lol ok ill take it I guess

I'm a slow loser too...can the fast losers add me if they are using My Fitness Pal? I'd love to see your food diary... I think I am able to eat too much... or maybe I'm not eating enough... either way, I've not lost a pound since February...

Just my luck that I'd be the one to screw this up too...

Okay guys I am a bit worried right now I am still very tight in the stomach area however i have heard that by the 6 month that stage will be over for us I am now in my 5th month and worried that in a month or so my stomach will allow me to eat a whole lot more I am still only around 4-5 ounces at this time and thats stuff like yogurts but meats still only able to eat 2-3 ounces and be more then full. How much can you guys get in at this stage of the game? Am I normal? Should I be worried? Who can get more in?

May makes 6 mths for me... and I can eat alot... I thought I would not feel hunger... but this gnawing in my belly is only satisfied with food... I feel like I am eating every 4 hours like a baby...Yes, soft foods, I can eat quite a bit... but meats and eggs fill me quickly...

normal? who's to say what's normal any more...

I think I can eat more than others, too. I don't make a habit of it, but I can. I think my stomach has been pretty much healed and no swelling since about 2-3 months. I'm hoping I don't continue to experience less restriction. I also still have hunger. However - compared to pre-surgery, there is no comparison. I could have easily eaten 4 cups before (maybe more, never measured like that) and could eat all day long, and had some kind of a crazy drive to eat. Now, I am good with eating small amounts, my hunger is certainly manageable, and I'm learning not to graze. All those things combined will make the difference over the long run!

My 6 month surgiversary was Monday and I have lost almost 45 pounds I'm pretty excited, and though I have slowed down, I have lost some weight every week except two weeks...sometimes I only lose .6 pounds, but this is still so much more success than I ever had with diets! And I don't feel like I am suffering or depriving myself. I'm rooting for all our December sleevers, some really great progress I see!

Funny I am still never hungry I went out one day all day and forgot to eat because I don't get hungry I eat every four hours only because I know Im supposed to I mean its crazy I hope I never get that hungry feeling back! I love that i Don't have to always satisfy a hunger feeling like I use to. That's the one thing I am honestly grateful for along with the limited space to abuse my body! Even when i am in bad mode i know no matter what I could only do so much damage I have fell off a few times but the next day would pick myself back up and act like it never happen. and funny I have never had weight gain from a bad day (cheat day)

I was sleeved on November 30 2012. I started at 237 and was 229 on surgery day. I've lost 68 pounds and have another 34 to go. I've been more or less stalled for a month.
